Recipe

Separate the white part of the green onion and finely chop it, preparing about one handful.
Add 3 raw eggs directly into the prepared cold rice and mix thoroughly with a spoon until each grain is evenly coated with egg.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or frying pan, then add the egg-coated rice and start stir-frying over high heat.
At first, the mixture will be thick and sticky like porridge, but keep stirring continuously with a spatula or wooden spoon—moisture will evaporate and the grains will begin to separate individually.
Once the rice starts becoming crisp and grainy, add 1/2 teaspoon of seasoning salt and two pinches of monosodium glutamate for extra umami, then adjust the seasoning.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue stirring gently for about 1 minute to ensure even distribution without clumping.
Add the finely chopped green onion and stir-fry over medium-low heat for another 1 minute, allowing the fresh onion aroma to fully infuse the rice.
Turn off the heat, drizzle 1 tablespoon of sesame oil around the rice, and lightly toss to combine—this adds richness and neutralizes any eggy odor.

Mix raw eggs into cold rice and stir well to coat each grain.
Add the egg-rice mixture to a greased pan and stir-fry over high heat until grains separate, then season with salt.
Lower heat to medium-low, add green onion, stir for 1 minute, then turn off heat and mix in sesame oil.

Cooking tips

Use cold rice or unheated instant rice instead of freshly cooked hot rice, as lower moisture content ensures a better grainy texture.
Avoid cooking green onions in oil at the beginning—they can burn easily and develop a bitter taste; adding them at the end preserves their fresh aroma.
The final sesame oil not only enhances the rich, nutty flavor but also effectively masks the characteristic eggy smell.
